Download the supporting PDF file for this episode http://bit.ly/f1v3iH from the Learning to Teach Online project website.This case study examines the use of eBooks and eReaders as an extension of the usual Blackboard Learning Management System (LMS). This initiative was undertaken as part of the DUCKLING research project (Delivering University Curricula: Knowledge, Learning and Innovation Gains) conducted by the Beyond Distance Research Alliance at the University of Leicester in the UK. While the context of this study involves distance students, using electronic books can have applications in any discipline where students are required to undertake a significant amount of reading. This case study discusses some advantages of using eBooks, and outlines the process involved in creating and uploading them to an eReader device.

By law, assistive technology (often referred to as “AT”) MUST be considered during the IEP process for every child. AT varies in many forms and MOST students CAN benefit from some level of AT. AT may be low tech, medium tech or high tech. I remember way back, a very long time ago my kindergarten teacher requiring us to use “fat” pencils to write with. When you think about it this is a very common but yet very low tech AT idea. All students can benefit from AT ideas that aid them in any way to better comprehend what they are learning or better manipulate various tools for learning.What I am presenting here is an example of the SETT Framework developed by a team of educators for a class in AT. The SETT Framework model originated with Joy Zabala and is copyrighted (2001). I want to give credit to my collaborative team members that were part of developing this AT Consideration Project for Charlie, a make-believe student but in many ways represents a typical student we might see in our school and one that would require AT consideration. These are Cathy Ooterhoff, Denyel Ptacek, and Wendy Yerkes. This SETT AT Consideration Project was so well done that the instructor for the course asked us if we would give her permission to use it as a benchmark-model example for future courses. Of course we said, “Yes!” by all means.The SETT Framework stands for “Student”, “Environments”, “Tasks”, and “Tools”. This is a four-part model (SETT) that, according to Joy Zabala promotes collaborative decisions in assistive technology from its design for the student to its final evaluation of effectiveness. I believe you will find the SETT Framework Model an extremely useful tool while considering AT for your students with special needs.

This site was particularly interesting, because not only can it be used to understand how music is recorded to a CD, but can also be used to understand the functionality of many items. As the name indicates, the site is dedicated to explaining the way things work. The web site in its early days focused mostly on science and machines, ranging from submarines to common household gadgets and appliances

This is a resource for teachers in higher-ed. Second Nature was founded in Boston in 1993 by a small group of forward-thinking leaders that included Dr. Anthony D. Cortese, Senator John F. Kerry (D-MA), Teresa Heinz Kerry, Bruce Droste, and others. This group sought to establish an organization dedicated to bringing about the change in society that is vital to the success and livelihood of every current and future living being: a change for a just and sustainable future.We began with a multimillion dollar, ten year outreach and advocacy effort to catalyze such transformative change, change that would have universities produce students prepared for character and citizenship as well as commerce and career in the 21st century.

This was conducted as part of the DUCKLING research project, involving students in an online masters degree in occupational psychology. The unique learning opportunities offered by virtual worlds are discussed, along with common technical difficulties that can potentially inhibit student learning.

The research on the efficacy of active learning strategies is well-established. Many have found that technology not only supports, but requires active learning by students. This 5-minute video explores the link between active learning and current online technologies, the instructor and student skills that are necessary to support active learning online, and mentions a few of the current technologies being used.

This is a profile of an ePortfolio project at California State University, Sacramento, and Cosumnes River College for first-year seminar students and transfer students prepared for a forthcoming report, Innovations in General Education: Giving California Students a Compass. The project included a "base folio" for first-year studentsto reflect analytically, self-assess, set goals and build their identities as students, learners, collaborators and citizens and a transfer folio to demonstrate students' writing proficiency. Students who successfully complete the writing proficiency folio could use it in place of a writing test.
